Churchill War Rooms

Churchill War Rooms

On becoming Prime Minister in May 1940, Winston Churchill visited the underground War Cabinet Room and said, 'This is a room from which I will direct the war'. 

Winston Churchill is recognised as one of the greatest individuals ever to walk the course of British history.  Today he is a figure admired throughout the world by statesmen and the man in the street alike.  Nowhere is the scene of his Finest Hour better illustrated and more intimately experienced than at the Cabinet War Rooms.

This preserved historic site in the heart of Westminster is where Winston Churchill and his War Cabinet led Britain and her allies to victory during the Second World War.  Comprising of the Harmsworth Room, HCA Auditorium and Switch Room, the Churchill Museum and Cabinet War Rooms is an ideal venue for conferences, dinners, receptions, press launches and seminars.
